All of those explanations make sense, except for Batman. So what if he doesn't kill? He can just wait the whole thing out, and he can still incapacitate people if they try to attack him. Just because he can't kill doesn't mean he can't leave them for someone else to kill.

I haven't read many Batman comics, but I know that he fights henchmen regularly, end they pretty much always end up either knocked out or seriously hurt. A quick Batarang to the back of the knee and the person becomes someone else's problem.

I also don't know exactly how the Hunger Games work. I thought the objective was to be the last survivor, but if you actually have to kill then Batman's out.

Ripley. If you happened to be too tough for her, she'd simply blow you out of an airlock or outsmart you in some other way. She also survived countless critics who just couldn't come to terms with a female hero at the head of the Alien franchise and tried to remove her. Those people are probably still drifting around in space somewhere.

Ripley's smarter than Sarah Connor, any way you slice it. Maybe not as trained, but I think she'd be able to outsmart her.

Aragorn would totally whip Leonidas' ass. Sure he's spartan, but he's still only got bronze armor and poopy weapons compared to the Rightful King of Gondor. See also: Aragorn's a skilled bowman, while Leonidas is not. Leo might be full of arrows before he got anywhere near Aragorn and Narsil.

Can we compile an Ultimate Wizard Battle with Gandalf, Merlin, and Dumbledore? Who else do people nominate as grand-master arcanists?

Ok, here's my analysis. I'm pairing them off after their placement on the pic. There's some people here I don't know who they are so they will probably lose.

Round 1

Batman vs. Hit Girl They are similar, but one is an adult and one is a kid... Sure Batman won't kill Hit Girl, but he'd incapacitate her and then she gets eaten by a veliciraptor or something. Winner: Batman

Conan the Barbarian vs. Some black and white chick Can't judge this fairly because I don't know who that is. But I know Conan is a great guy. Winner: Conan the Barbarian

Achilles vs. Sarah Connor Sarah Connor seems to be a reasonably educated woman, she would know to shoot him in the heel. Winner: Sarah Connor

Round 2

Batman vs. Indiana Jones Batman would beat Indiana Jones up and move on. But when the veliciraptors come to eat Indy he'd get up at the last moment, get chased by them, and run right into a herd of sauropods. The sauropods get frightened by the raptors, stampede, smash down the trees Batman was jumping through, and crush him. Winner: Indiana Jones

Conan the Barbarian vs. Sarah Connor Aww, I wanted Conan to get further. But Sarah Connor killed Arnie when he was a murder robot, I can't believe she would have problems against him as a human. Winner: Sarah Connor

Round 3

Indiana Jones vs. Ripley "Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Indy goes into an old fridge and survives. No but seriously, Indy will fool around for a while, but he's just a guy with a whip and Ripley is Ripley. Winner: Ripley

Black Widow vs. Alice Does T-Virus beat enhanced physique? My guess: Yes, it will just create some new weird power for Alice and Black Widow is too well defined to compete. Winner: Black Widow

Ripley vs. Alice vs. Sarah Connor Let's see here. A woman with xenomorph powers who has spent a lot of time fighting said insanely dangerous xenomorphs. A T-Virus infectee with all the crazy powers and great combat skills. The number one killer of unkillable future robots. This is the ultimate showdown. They fight and fight and fight. And then...

Secret Faction activated: Samuel L. Jackson (aka Ray Arnold)

You thought he got eaten by raptors? Well then you were wrong! He fought those raptors like a boss but he needed something to hit them with. So he tore off his own arm, beat them up, and they ran away. Then he ran into a T-Rex. They became best pals because they were equally awesome. The T-Rex ate some raptors so the rest of the main characters could escape. But Samuel L. Jackson stayed on the island with his new buddy. And now he's had it with these motherfuckin' hunger gamers on this motherfuckin' island.

Samuel L. Jackson rides the T-Rex right into the final battle. Ripley thinks she's such hot shit but she fought an alien queen, not a TYRANNOSAURUS REX. She gets eaten. Alice tries the blood-out-of-eyes thing on Samuel L. Jackson, but he just stares right back and her head explodes. Then he turns to Sarah Connor who gets ready to fight but he says:

"Normally, your ass would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass."

Sarah Connor, Samuel L. Jackson and T-Rex all go to the Death Star. They rampage through the place slaughtering everyone. Sarah Connor takes out the T-1000 of course, and Iron Man to be on the safe side. Samuel L. Jackson finds Emperor Palpatine and throws him out the window. Then he kills Boba Fett, finishing that whole thing. T-Rex eats most everyone.

The world is saved!

Remus: Harry... I'm a werewolf.
Harry: Are you fucking serious?
Remus: Well yes, but I don't see how that applies here.
